Poker Rally series is a fun and casual event that highlights what we love to do, drive our cars. Our series has regional qualifiers where winners can compete in the championship event for ultimate bragging rights. The following is a break-down of how the event works.

COST IS $55.00 to cover cost and buy into the pot

Player/team: A player/team consists of the participants riding in a single car. A team can consist of a single driver, or as many passengers as a single vehicle can legally hold.

How to Play: The Poker Run begins when each participating team/car is given a packet with a playing card and a route map to the next checkpoint. At each check point, teams grab a new packet with a playing card and a route to the next checkpoint.*This continues until each team reaches the fifth and final checkpoint.

How to Win: This Poker Run is about the experiences and the adventure, but the prizes at the end are not bad either ;-). The winning team is the one with the best hand at the end of the rally. Payouts are given to the teams with the top three hands. Top three winners are also entered in the drawing for the grand prize after the series is complete. That means you have a 1/12 chance of winning it all.

Payout: First place receives 70%, second place receives 20%, and third place receives 10%. The more participants there are, the bigger the pot will be. Bay Area pot was $200.

The Grand Prize. The top three teams from each of the events will be entered into the drawing for FREE TRACK DAY from Hooked on Driving, which has a $300 value and free car detail a $250 value. That means $550 in prizes.
